By blending in-person and digital capacity, MVC ensures continuity during disruptions while supporting enrichment, remediation, and local control. Designed as a shovel-ready, award-facing model, MVC demonstrates measurable ROI within one budget cycle.

The Approach

Scott Jellen is an independent researcher working at the intersection of protocol design, rights modeling, and interoperability across digital and public systems. His work includes standards-oriented specifications, reference models, and published whitepapers that examine how incentives, governance, and infrastructure can be represented clearly and designed to scale. He is the founder of the Jellen Protocol Lab, which serves as the emerging home for this research. Flagship work includes the Universal Sports Graph (USG), a protocol-based framework spanning RFC-style specifications and a versioned reference registry.
